Pls update your browser cache, it's there.

Sorry, I meant the JOGL main page, the links on the right hand side.

Anyway thanks for the extra info.  I tried again with the demo and suspect it might be designed for pre 0.4.1 SDK? because I get now a crash in some Oculus native library I think.  I'm not familiar with the earlier Oculus SDKs...

I also agree that this binary blob approach is a bit worrying.  Who knows what it's going to be doing in the future (facebook?).  Currently this blob is windows only, but I'm sure it will arrive on the mac and linux soon enough.

Anyway given the current situation I'm sure it would also be useful to also have just a thin wrapper for some requirements, especially whilst things are in flux and things like shader responsibility and other features may shift responsibility again going forward.  Is this something gluegen could be doing?  Or am I better to be focusing on JOVR for that lower level of access?  The idea of cross platform JOGL + Rift is so appealing!

Btw I'm happy to test DK2 code for you if you need!  OSX 10.5.8 Java 7 although my laptop can only handle simple Rift scenes...
